Such bravery after Biden and Kamala has been certified.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's former chief of staff and current special envoy to Northern Ireland said Thursday that he's resigning from his diplomatic post.

"I called [Secretary of State] Mike Pompeo last night to let him know I was resigning from that. I can't do it. I can't stay," Mick Mulvaney told CNBC in an exclusive interview.


"Those who choose to stay, and I have talked with some of them, are choosing to stay because they're worried the president might put someone worse in," Mulvaney said. But he said other officials may not stay.

Trump, during a Wednesday rally outside the White House, encouraged thousands of supporters to march to the Capitol to protest what historically have been ceremonial proceedings. Trump returned to the White House after his speech and later told supporters in a tweeted video "you have to go home now" but he didn't condemn the violence.

The rats leaving the sinking ship picture has been used so many times over the years. Turns out the rats had patience. There's only inches of the ship left above water. Very brave to stick it out all this time.

Don't let these people distance themselves from this. That stink shouldn't be able to come off so easy.

I love the implicit acknowledgement by said people that they're not worthy of the position themselves.

This guy can shove it where the sun don't shine. "Oh, we burnt it all to the ground, let's resign so I can say I am not to blame". Fuck right off.

No. No 11th hour attempts to wash your hands you despicable fuck.

Isn't this one the one that said COVID was the latest Democratic hoax?

If they're going to summarize the message then characterize it properly. Not only did he refuse to condemn the violence, he thanked the insurrectionists and said "we love you."

It's too late now. If you wanted to resign in protest, you had plenty of opportunity to do it.

Now, Mick, you have a duty to speak out publicly against the president and organize execution of the 25th amendment.

As I said in the big thread, this is akin to ignoring your parents when they keep telling you not to do something, and then you try to pretend you listened and it wasn't your fault.

The Trump Administration is trying to hide the matches while the house burns.
